A KS3 project looking at the theme of Monster and concentrating on the artists Tim Burton. This was an observational lesson - so quite detailed with a true and false plenary.

This PowerPoint introduces a KS3 Art project based on the theme of Monsters, designed to develop students’ drawing skills, creativity, and understanding of artist influence. Students explore a range of artists who use character, exaggeration, and expressive mark-making in their work, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jon Kelly Green, Mateo Dineen, and Tim Burton. Through artist research and visual analysis, students examine how artists use shape, line, colour, tone, and facial expression to communicate character and emotion. A particular focus is placed on the work of Jon Kelly Green, exploring how simple shapes, limited colour palettes, and tonal variation can create bold and effective monster designs. Students are guided to: Gather and evaluate information about relevant artists Recreate an artist-inspired monster drawing using careful observation Apply learned techniques to design their own original monster Develop confidence in drawing, observation, and creative decision-making The project encourages a “70% looking, 30% drawing” approach, reinforcing the importance of observation in successful artwork. The final outcome includes the creation of a front cover design, showcasing students’ understanding of artist influence and personal creativity.

KS3 Art: Google Doodle exercise - A visual, well designed PowerPoint encouraging students to create their own Google Doodle Art. Information and Success Criteria linked to the NC. This exercise is completed in TONE due to current Covid 19 regulations. Also shows visuals of light, medium and dark tones as well as Mark Making Techniques. More PP to follow.

Use Picasso to influence your students. Can be differentiated easily as students will concentrate on line drawing and then apply all relevant details. Discuss the artist, look at his work and then students will choose which portrait they like the most. Stories can be created depending on the theme, mood, and colours of the portraits. Discussions can also be encouraged. Please leave comments if you wish.

Interesting lesson aimed at KS3 but can be adapted to KS4 ensuring that you provide the correct differentiation. Students will learn about the Artist and then create their own portrait using a range of different fruits. Fantastic results, can use a wide range of media but colouring pencils seem to be best option ensuring that you encourage them to use the right colouring techniques. Please leave any comments if you found this powerpoint helpful?
